Most water parks across the country do not open up until Memorial Day when the weather is nice and warm so the water can feel comfortable. Luckily, we have a few indoor water parks around Traverse City that are already open for Spring Break. This includes Avalanche Bay Water Park that is Michigan’s largest indoor water park. The water is always a wonderful 84 degrees that will feel extremely nice after walking inside from the cooler weather. There are quite a few exciting ways to enjoy your time at the park too. Go down thrilling water slides or enjoy a moment of peace on the lazy river. The hot tubs are a great way to really enjoy the hot water. Day passes are a great way to spend the day here at the park!
Avalanche Bay Waterpark is a part of Boyne Mountain where you can still find the ski slopes open around Spring Break. They have 65 different trails that can be accessed through 10 different ski lifts. You will have 415 acres of skiable terrain to explore. The peaks such as Boyne Mountain frequently see snow until April so this may be your last opportunity to enjoy some skiing before it closes for the season. Boyne Mountain has everything you need for a successful trip down the mountain. The rental shop features all of the gear you need for an adventurous moment. The snowsports school offers a variety of lessons from skiing to snowboarding so you will be in top shape on the slopes. Purchase your lift ticket in advance for the best price. Don’t miss out on one last chance to ski this season!
The spring season tends to be a slower season here in Traverse City allowing you more opportunities than ever to explore. This includes visiting the always popular Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. This is one of Michigan’s five national parks and has been voted as one of the most beautiful parks in the country. Sleeping Bear is named after its massive sand dunes that can be found along the shore of Lake Michigan. Climbing up the dunes is always an exciting endeavor for the whole family. Enjoy the views of Lake Michigan or explore the hiking trails that might start to see some wildflowers begin to bloom. The bright green colors of the trees will have you feel at one with nature. Come check out Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore during your Spring Break adventure.
